. Never add any cleaning agents to the fuel tank . The addition of a cleaning agent may cause damage to the fuel system .
. After refueling , turn the cap to the right until it clicks to ensure that it is fully tightened . If the cap is not securely tightened , fuel may leak out while the vehicle is being driven or fuel spillage could occur in the event of an accident , creating a fire hazard .
. Do not let fuel spill on the exterior surfaces of the vehicle . Because fuel may damage the paint , be sure to wipe off any spilled fuel quickly . Paint damage caused by spilled fuel is not covered under the SUBARU Limited Warranty .
. Always use a genuine SUBARU fuel filler cap . If you use the wrong cap , it may not fit or have proper venting and your fuel tank and emission control system may be damaged . It could also lead to fuel spillage and a fire .
. Immediately put fuel in the tank whenever the low fuel warning light illuminates . Engine misfires as a result of an empty tank could cause damage to the engine . Continuing to operate your vehicle at an extremely low fuel level may result in a reduction of engine performance .
